Hi there!
We’ve just uploaded the next in our TBTV series of Bubscasts from 2014’s Thought Bubble convention! Footage from this year’s Comics and Journalism panel, run in conjunction with Make It Then Tell Everybody, is now live on our YouTube channel!
On this panel, which took place at 2014’s Thought Bubble convention on Sunday 16th November in the Speech Bubble panel area, Zainab Akhtar, Dan Berry, Laura Snapes & Douglas Wolk discuss comics journalism, objectivity and subjectivity, negative reviews, interview techniques and how what you write may change based on where it will appear and who may read it.
Zainab Akhtar is the author of the popular blog Comics & Cola, and writes for Publishers Weekly, Comics Alliance and The Guardian. Dan Berry is a cartoonist, lecturer and host of the interview podcast Make It Then Tell Everybody. Laura Snapes is a writer and features editor for the NME. Douglas Wolk is a journalist and critic who writes about music and comics for TIME, the New York Times and Rolling Stone.
A full audio podcast of this panel can be found at the Make It Then Tell Everybody website.
As part of last year’s Thought Bubble, we were awarded a very generous grant from Arts Council England in order to allow us to take video recordings of the panels and talks at 2014’s convention, and this is the latest video recording to go live.
After the jump, you can find the videos themselves, but for a playlist of all four videos that will autoplay consecutively, please click here. Please note: Thought Bubble does not control panel content.
We’ll be uploading lots of videos to our YouTube channel throughout the year, as 2015’s Thought Bubble approaches ever closer, so make sure to subscribe to our channel so you don’t miss any! You can find Thought Bubble’s YouTube channel by clicking here.
We’d like to say a huge thank you to all the people who took part in this panel, and also to our amazing technical coordinator Jip and his wonderful team of volunteers, without whom none of this would have been possible.
